Abstract

The value of sex/gender as analytical categories, the notions of sameness and difference, the meaning of equality, and the utility of law for achieving transformative social change have been staple themes in feminist legal scholarship. Their engagement has proven fruitful not only for uncovering law’s gendered bias and contesting its role in reproducing inequality, but also for questioning the explanatory potential of various theories of law and justice, including those put forward within feminist scholarship itself.
